Stylish design; exceptionally easy to use; excellent picture and recording quality

Dull remote; slightly limited connectivity

Solid performance for money

menu system and remote not intuitive and recordings can suffer from glitches without good reception

Accessing your recordings means going through a couple of menus via the remote - instead of having a dedicated button which takes you to them. Some of the instructions are a little vague. These are minor quibbles however as I bought the machine for my...

Fantastic Quality, Great Picture, Small and Light

Slightly Confusing Program Guide
